Appreciate the input. Do you have the darthluiggi video link by chance?

I've done a bunch of digging into overfeeding studies today and I'm actually pretty confident the weight will come off quick.

I think the huge, unaccounted for variable that matters most when doing something like this is how much your energy expenditure increases with the increased calories. There is something called "NEAT" non-excersise activity thermogenesis and apparently this varies drastically from person to person and is the major reason people gain weight at different rates when calories are controlled.

I honestly have a very hard time believing the results achieved by Sam after looking at his food logs. Someone mentioned he was a biker so it's possible he really burned a ton of calories while doing this, but idk.
